Bless You Boys

Another spring, another opening day coming up for the boys of summer. For those who have been waiting for the return of America’s pastime, the big day is nearly nigh. The Detroit Tigers will begin their 2024 odyssey through the Major League Baseball ranks on Thursday, March 28, in Chicago against the White Sox in

We’ve learned a few things about new Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty this spring. The past 4-5 years he’s been a depth starter looking to recapture his earlier success, but until the Tigers signed him out of the blue, we hadn’t really looked that deeply into his peak years with the Cardinals. We also

With the 2024 season now blessedly just days away, it’s time to look at a player who is perhaps being taken for granted this spring. Kerry Carpenter followed Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene to the major leagues late in 2022, and so far has surpassed them both with a very nice full season debut in

It seems appropriate to dive into Tigers position player previews with the man who should be leading off the lineup most nights. Center fielder Parker Meadows may be dropped down the lineup against tough lefty starters, but AJ Hinch clearly likes him as a leadoff hitter. With only 37 games of MLB experience, the 24-year-old

Well this is a slightly surprising turn of events. On Friday at noon, the Detroit Tigers announced that they’d optioned right-handed starter Matt Manning to Triple-A Toledo. The result is that both Casey Mize and Reese Olson will start the year in the rotation. Veteran reliever Drew Anderson, who has had a pretty impressive camp,

The Tigers began their offseason maneuvering by trading for veteran outfielder Mark Canha from the Milwaukee Brewers. The move was well-received in the immediate aftermath of the trade, and then promptly fell out of the conversation around Detroit. Far from being a shiny new toy, Canha has been in the league since 2015 and is

While we wait for the Detroit Tigers to make their final roster decisions for the starting rotation and the bullpen, the active roster is now set for Opening Day in terms of position players. For most, the results won’t come as a surprise. The club more or less set the positional roster from the moment

No major news is good news at this time of year. The Tigers are in really good shape heading into the final games of the Grapefruit League calendar. Knock on all the wood, throw all the salt, do whatever your belief system permits to help the club stay healthy. Instead of injuries or roster moves,

When the Detroit Tigers signed veteran infielder Gio Urshela to a one-year deal during the second week of spring training, it looked like the Opening Day position player group was set. With Colt Keith signed to a long-term contract, third base was really the only position in open competition. The addition of Urshela made the

The Detroit Tigers enter the 2024 season with an overhauled roster that will be without nine of their ten highest paid players from the 2023 Opening Day roster. Those ten players also had the most major league service time on the roster, with only Javier Baez returning. Gone are Miguel Cabrera, Eduardo Rodriguez, Jonathan Schoop,

The Detroit Tigers didn’t make much noise this offseason, but one area that they did fortify pretty aggressively was the bullpen. With a solid core consisting of Jason Foley, Alex Lange, Tyler Holton, and Will Vest already in place, Scott Harris inked right-hander Shelby Miller and lefty Andrew Chafin to free agent deals. That whole
